Chapter 276: Dhara Land
Beneath the open town of Tora, there are intricate passages, deep caves and rock caves, which extend in all directions like a maze.

At the center of the main altar is an ancient stone chamber, which was originally where Xiao Qingfang lived and is also the power center of the Snake Spirit.

However, the situation has changed now. The old owner Yuan Tiangang has escaped from danger. In order to show his filial piety, Xiao Qingfang gave this place to Yuan Tiangang to live in.

At this moment, Yuan Tiangang was sitting at the desk in the stone chamber, concentrating on complicated calculations, with pieces of densely written paper scattered around him.

This stone chamber was equipped with a high-end revolving door. When the stone door moved, Xiao Qingfang walked in.

"Teacher!" Xiao Qingfang whispered and walked to Yuan Tiangang's side.

Yuan Tiangang looked up and put down the pen in his hand: "It's Qingfang, what's the matter?"

Xiao Qingfang's face was full of smiles: "Nothing, I came to see you. I hope I didn't disturb you. What are you calculating?"

Yuan Tiangang gently stroked his beard, his eyes deep: "The time for the Luo River miracle is coming soon. We must calculate the date and arrange the order before then, so that we can start."

Xiao Qingfang smiled even more when she heard this, and asked tentatively, "Have you figured it out?"

Yuan Tiangang smiled and nodded: "The date has already been calculated, but there are still a few details missing."

When Xiao Qingfang heard that the date had been calculated, she couldn't suppress her excitement and blurted out, "Which day is it?"

Yuan Tiangang looked at her meaningfully and said with a smile: "The secret cannot be revealed!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingfang quickly calmed down and respectfully agreed: "Disciple understands."

Yuan Tiangang nodded with satisfaction: "Go ahead. I will calculate it carefully again. When everything is verified, I will be the first to notify you!"

"Thank you, teacher!" Xiao Qingfang pretended to be very happy, then bowed and walked out the door.

As soon as the stone door opened, Xiao Qingfang walked out of the stone room, looked back inside, a sneer appeared on his face, and he cursed softly: "What an old fox!"

Before he finished his words, a burst of hurried footsteps came from behind, and Xiao Jing ran over quickly.

Seeing Xiao Jing coming, Xiao Qingfang quickly restrained her emotions and returned to her expressionless expression: "What happened?"

Xiao Qingfang's brows were filled with the joy of victory: "Sister, Li Yuanfang and the other two accidentally broke into the main altar. I just got the news that Su Xianer and Kui Wenzhong have been captured by the mechanism of the main altar. Li Yuanfang is also trapped in the mechanism of the medicine shop."

Xiao Qingfang raised her eyebrows immediately, and a smug smile appeared on her face: "Su Xianer, I have said long ago that you can't escape from my grasp! Where are they imprisoned?"

Xiao Jing hurriedly said: "Now he is locked up in the stone prison in the back cave!"

"Let's go and meet this traitor!" A look of resentment flashed across Xiao Qingfang's face.

In Dayang Mountain, soldiers under Liuzhou were walking on the winding and narrow mountain path.

There were no flags, no trumpets, men held their tongues in their mouths, horses wrapped their hooves, and an army of thousands of people advanced rapidly and silently.

The dilapidated ancient temple where Li Yuanfang and Ruyan rescued Kui Wenzhong has now become a temporary central army. The Qianniu Guards are guarding the front, back, left and right of the small temple tightly.

In front of the temple gate, Liuzhou Governor Wen Kai and the Commandant Zhou Yi were whispering, "Send someone to guard the prisoners captured by General Zhao. The army is ready to march to Tuola at any time!"

Zhou Yi kept nodding his head.

After Wen Kai finished his instructions, he patted him on the shoulder and walked quickly into the temple.

In the main hall of the ancient temple, there is a two-headed snake mark painted on the wall, which is the one that Xiaomei left in the ancient temple.

Di Renjie nodded and looked around. In the main hall, there were spots of coagulated blood, knife marks on the pillars, and bloodstains on the Buddha statues, silently telling of the tragedy of the past.

Wen Kai reported to Di Renjie: "Lord, General Zhao has assigned a team to look after the Snake Spirit spies captured along the way, but these people are too low-ranking to get anything out of them."

Di Renjie nodded, took a long breath, and said nothing.

At this moment, a burst of hurried horse hooves sounds came from afar, breaking the tranquility outside the temple.

Di Renjie and Wen Kai looked outside the door at the same time, and saw a small team of Qianniu Guards galloping towards them.

"General Zhao is back!" Wen Kai said happily.

However, the ones who walked in breathlessly were Xiaomei and Shen Tao.

"Where is Chengyuan?" Di Renjie asked hurriedly.

Xiaomei looked anxious: "Don't mention it, we met a master in the snake cave, and General Zhao chased him out alone! We waited and waited but to no avail, General Zhao didn't come back, so we had no choice but to come back here to see you!"

Di Renjie was immediately shocked and beat his chest and stamped his feet: "Chengyuan has fallen into the enemy's trap!"

Shen Tao looked worried when he heard this: "Then isn't the general in danger?"

Di Renjie shook his head: "It's hard to say, maybe Chengyuan just discovered something and followed him all the way."

After a long while, he asked again: "Have you found Ruyan and Yuanfang?"

Xiaomei shook her head, her tone full of helplessness: "We checked all the snake caves along the way to Tuoluodi, and walked all the roads, but we didn't see any trace of them. Even the snake spirit spies along the way said that no one had seen them!"

Di Renjie's expression became more serious: "We didn't find any snake caves along the way... Not good... Not good! Yuan Fang and Ru Yan may have reached Tuoluodi. They are in danger!"

He turned around abruptly and said, "Wen Kai, we can't wait any longer, order the army to march to Tuoluodi at full speed!"

Wen Kai quickly cupped his hands and agreed: "Yes! I will go and pass the order immediately!"

The night was dark, the wind was howling, and the mountains were shaking.

The coffin in the small courtyard on the top of the mountain was creaking in the wind.

Inside the room, the old wooden door kept the force of the strong wind out, and inside the door was a quiet world.

The lights flickered, Yuan Tiangang sat at the dining table, moving the pen in his hand. There were a lot of rough papers on the table, and there were actually arithmetic formulas on them.

"Viper" Zhao Ji kicked the wooden door open with a bang, and a strong wind rushed in, blowing out the lights and blowing the straw paper all over the room.

Yuan Tiangang suddenly raised his head and slammed the pen on the table, splashing ink everywhere: "What are you doing!"

Zhao Ji didn't expect that Yuan Tiangang was calculating, and said sarcastically: "Teacher is really a hard worker! I am sorry that I came at an unfortunate time."

Having said that, he still closed the door, blocking the strong wind outside again.

Seeing Zhao Ji's actions, Yuan Tiangang suppressed his anger and asked, "Why did you come back?"

"Li Yuanfang is dead, of course I have to come back!" Zhao Ji was not polite at all. He pulled down a chair and sat next to Yuan Tiangang.

While Yuan Tiangang was picking up the scattered straw paper, he asked, "Is Li Yuanfang really dead?"
